The requirements for multimedia (especially video and audio)
communications increase rapidly in the last two decades in broad
areas such as television, entertainment, interactive services,
telecommunications, conference, medicine, security, business,
traffic, defense and banking. Video and audio coding standards play
most important roles in multimedia communications. In order to meet
these requirements, series of video and audio coding standards have
been developed such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-21 for audio and video
by ISO/IEC, H.26x for video and G.72x for audio by ITU-T, Video
Coder 1 (VC-1) for video by the Society of Motion Picture and
Television Engineers (SMPTE) and RealVideo (RV) 9 for video by Real
Networks.
AVS China is the abbreviation for Audio Video Coding Standard of
China. This new standard includes four main technical areas, which
are systems, video, audio and digital copyright management (DRM),
and some supporting documents such as consistency verification. The
second part of the standard known as AVS1-P2 (Video - Jizhun) was
approved as the national standard of China in 2006, and several
final drafts of the standard have been completed, including AVS1-P1
(System - Broadcast), AVS1-P2 (Video - Zengqiang), AVS1-P3 (Audio -
Double track), AVS1-P3 (Audio - 5.1), AVS1-P7 (Mobile Video),
AVS-S-P2 (Video) and AVS-S-P3 (Audio). AVS China provides a
technical solution for many applications such as digital
broadcasting (SDTV and HDTV), high-density storage media, Internet
streaming media, and will be used in the domestic IPTV, satellite
and possibly the cable TV market. Comparing with other coding
standards such as H.264 AVC, the advantages of AVS video standard
include similar performance, lower complexity, lower implementation
cost and licensing fees. This standard has attracted great deal of
attention from industries related to television, multimedia
communications and even chip manufacturing from around the world.
Also many well known companies have joined the AVS Group to be Full
Members or Observing Members. The 163 members of AVS Group include
Texas Instruments (TI) Co., Agilent Technologies Co. Ltd., Envivio
Inc., NDS, Philips Research East Asia, Aisino Corporation, LG,
Alcatel Shanghai Bell Co. Ltd., Nokia (China) Investment (NCIC) Co.
Ltd., Sony (China) Ltd., and Toshiba (China) Co. Ltd. as well as
some high level universities in China. Thus there is a pressing
need from the instructors, students, and engineers for a book
dealing with the topic of AVS China and its performance comparisons
with similar standards such as H.264, VC-1 and RV-9.
